Happy now?

 

I don't do much work in Photoshop, but when I do...

 

Every 10th November,  United States Marines gather.. no matter where they are deployed, no matter where they are, no matter what they're doing, and spends a few moments thinking back to our birth. Tomorrow (Monday) is the 10th of November.. the 239th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps. While Im no longer amongst my Brothers in Arms, I still try to celebrate and remember where I came from.
 
As is tradition (and standing orders), three things take place. First, there's the gathering of Marines (Usually in formation), second there's the reading of Maj Gen John A. Lejeune's Birthday Message, and finally there's the passing of cake from the Eldest Marine to the Youngest, signifying the passing of knowledge and the torch from one generation of Marines to the next. Given that the internet is a gathering place for Marines (Many of whom are in my friends list on several forums/chat systems etc), we'll consider the first part covered.
 
The second:
 
 
MARINE CORPS ORDERS
No. 47 (Series 1921)
HEADQUARTERS U.S. MARINE CORPS
Washington, November 1, 1921
759. The following will be read to the command on the 10th of November, 1921, and hereafter on the
10 November of every year. Should the order not be received by the 10th of November, 1921, it
will be read upon receipt.
(1) On November 10, 1775, a Corps of Marines was created by a resolution of Continental
Congress. Since that date many thousand men have borne the name "Marine". In memory of them it is
fitting that we who are Marines should commemorate the birthday of our corps by calling to mind the
glories of its long and illustrious history.
(2) The record of our corps is one which will bear comparison with that of the most famous
military organizations in the world's history. During 90 of the 146 years of its existence the
Marine Corps has been in action against the Nation's foes. From the Battle of Trenton to the
Argonne, Marines have won foremost honors in war, and in the long eras of tranquility at home,
generation after generation of Marines have grown gray in war in both hemispheres and in every
corner of the seven seas, that our country and its citizens might enjoy peace and security.
(3) In every battle and skirmish since the birth of our corps, Marines have acquitted themselves
with the greatest distinction, winning new honors on each occasion until the term "Marine" has come
to signify all that is highest in military efficiency and soldierly virtue.
(4) This high name of distinction and soldierly repute we who are Marines today have received
from those who preceded us in the corps. With it we have also received from them the eternal spirit
which has animated our corps from generation to generation and has been the distinguishing mark of
the Marines in every age. So long as that spirit continues to flourish Marines will be found equal
to every emergency in the future as they have been in the past, and the men of our Nation will
regard us as worthy successors to the long line of illustrious men who have served as "Soldiers of
the Sea" since the founding of the Corps.
JOHN A. LEJEUNE,
Major General Commandant
75705—21
 
 
As for the third.. There's only so much you can do online.
 
 
Happy Birthday Marines.. no matter where you are, what you're doing, who you're with.. enjoy your day.. remember who we are, celebrate where we come from.. watch your six and come back home safely.

My friend just posted this.  French fries + Carne asada + Bacon + Two sunny side eggs + Guacamole + Sour Cream + Mexican cheese = Christian Fries.  Apparently found in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

I see your Poutine and raise you Carne Asada Fries!   Probably one of the best eats to come out of southern California.   The base ingredients are typically french fries, cheese, pico de gallo, sour scream, and guacamole topped with carne asada steak.   If you ever find yourselves in San Diego, this is a must!
 
 

Hey all,

 

Not sure how many of you have heard about this, I certainly haden't untill I watched a YouTube video from StarWarsHQ.com about future star wars games that are rumored to be in development namely Star Wars The Force Unleashed III and a new Star Wars Bounty Hunter title.

 

So you can imagine my surprise when I saw screenshots of Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic in awesome 1080p and the following information:

 

1) Interactive Co-op campaign mode.
2) Over five competitive online game modes.
3) An open world online game mode.
4) Five additional planets.
5) COMPLETELY remastered in fine 1080P HD
6) Updated textures, models, and more.
7) COMPLETELY new EXP system.
Absolutely FREE
 
So here is the breakdown of just what exactly is going on. This is a post from one of the developers currently working on the new SW:KOTOR Remastered Version:
 
"Hello everyone! 
 

Are you aware of what KOTOR is? If not, I'll inform you. It is, Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic! And epic RPG game made over a decade ago. Anyhow, I wanted to let you know it is one of my favorite games of all time and that myself, along with seven others are currently remastering the game! 

 

We are not rebuilding the game from scratch, we are simply updating the textures, graphics, models, maps, and adding in new content. 

 

Q&A

 

How are we funding the game? We're not! We're just dedicating our off-time using the same developmental software that the original developers used to make this game. 

 

When will the game release? We are aiming for late 2014. January of 2015 at the very latest.

 

What platforms will this release on? PC, Mac, and Linux. 

 

Will this be released on consoles? That is a possibility. If it were, it would be a simple USB file, that you would plug into your console. 

 

Will you make a KOTOR II Remaster? The team and I are more than willing to, it simply depends on the success of KOTOR: Remaster. We don't want to spend a year working on something people don't want.

 

What new planets will there be? 

The new planets are strictly for Multiplayer, and co-op alone. There will be Djun, Felucia, and three more we don't want to spoil!

 

Where can I donate? Disney has restricted us from accepting any money for the game whatsoever. So, I'm afraid all you can do to support is to spread the word!

 

Here is an article from our website:

After a decade upon release, KOTOR still remains near flawless. Although there were some issues, and many left out features that couldn't be implemented into the game. But with modern technology, the possibilities are endless. We here at FFG saw this, and took advantage of this opportunity. With copyright laws, we are not aloud to make any profits off of the game whatsoever. So, our only motivation being you- the fans! "

 

 

SW:KOTOR Remastered has the aim of being released in amazing 1080p HD and not the silly 720p upscaled semi HD version that didn't make it really look any different than it did before, and are currently adding new content to the game such as new planets for it's online section of the game, and adding in the co-op mechanics for the main story arc of the game. They are also letting the fans decide on if it should remain as the classic turn based gaming mechanic where it would pause, you choose attacks, let loose and pray to god it worked or a more instant action game mechanic currently employed by MMO's such as WoW, SW:ToR etc etc etc etc.

 

I have to admit I'm actually quite excited about this one as I must admit KOTOR is in my top three SW gaming titles (SWG and Star Wars Jedi Knight series coming in second) and so I'm waiting with baited anticipation, not only to play the game again in true HD but also to see how the online aspect of it will play out, but I will admit to some apprehension too as it being such a well known and loved title if they screw it up it will cause a huge back lash, but see some screenies below and drop a few comments. And who knows maybe this might become a Ordo Chapter in the future if they are constantly adding new stuff to make it a true SP/MMO ?

Didn't you have a bad experience the last time you bought a game from GameStop >.>

You mean I can sneak into other people's games and Ffff with them?

 

You actually claimed him? Brave. I don't think I would of done such a thing.

Basically.  It's what I'll be using this summer to keep going.
So about those lemon bars...

They were awesome.  Tart and sweet but not too sweet.  The raspberries were great, but next time I'll probably try blueberries because you can't have too many things with blueberries in them imo.

http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-audio/razer-kraken-71   is what I got now. They are LOUD!!!

 

and the Gamescom Plantronics 780 is good. Had them when i was overseas. 

I believe it was due to your known dealings with changelings.
